Request:

Aok Ya Moulana I have had the pleasure of being with Moulana and yourself when I was only 14 and alhamdulilah I stayed in on jabel Qasiyun for a few years. I have been fulfilling my family and parents’ duty for many years to stabalize ourselves and have lost contact with yourself and Moulana for many years. I am under severe difficulty and need your duas, as I have moved house after 20 years and my new home seems harsh. Nothing is going right, my health is very bad; I am suffering from sciatica and hip pain and am not able to do much at all. My family think it’s magic and other troubles and lately I have been in trouble with authorities too over very odd things too. Please make special dua for me and advise me too.

Salam `alaykum,

Give sadaqa and recite every day 100 times Astaghfirullah and Rabbuna Allah, Hasbuna Allah.

For sciatica recite for 40 days from Surat al-Baqara 2:72-73

وَإِذۡ قَتَلۡتُمۡ نَفۡسً۬ا فَٱدَّٲرَٲٔۡتُمۡ فِيہَا‌ۖ وَٱللَّهُ مُخۡرِجٌ۬ مَّا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡتُمُونَ فَقُلۡنَا ٱضۡرِبُوهُ بِبَعۡضِہَا‌ۚ كَذَٲلِكَ يُحۡىِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ وَيُرِيڪُمۡ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ  

Wa-ith qataltum nafsan faddara’tum feeha wAllahu mukhrijun ma kuntum taktumoon, Faqulna idriboohu biba`diha kadhalika yuhyee Allahu almawta wayureekum ayatihi la`allakum ta`qiloon.

and from Surat az-Zumar 39:30-31:

إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ۬ وَإِنَّہُم مَّيِّتُونَ ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ عِندَ رَبِّكُمۡ تَخۡتَصِمُونَ 

Innaka mayyitun wa-innahum mayyitoon, Thumma innakum yawma al-qiyamati `inda rabbikum takhtasimoon.
